Now the name of the Polish studio CD Projekt, glorious series of role -playing games The Witcher, Everyone is in hearing, and thanks to her outright hostility to all kinds of DRM, microtransactions and paid DLC, she quickly won the love and trust of the people. However, the path to success, which began in the mid-90s, was long and thorny.
In part, such a late flowering is explained by the approach to doing business of one of the founders CDP Marki is Ivinski (Marcin Iwinski), which he discussed in a recent conversation with Gamasutra. Ivinski He opened the studio with his partners immediately after graduating from higher education in 1994. From the very beginning, they wanted to develop computer games, but, being realists, they understood that they did not have the right resources for this.
To prepare a material base and strengthen your market position, CDP For a long time specialized in marketing, localization, publishing. This allowed its employees to better delve into the process of production of video games. By 2007, when development The Witcher I was close to completion, the studio managed to find a suitable partner who helped to release the project. The Witcher 2 The company has already published on its own.
Business policy is based CDP Lies the approach of the systematic development "Step by step". Unlike other companies, the Poles do not seek to embrace the immense and launch their tentacles in all genre directions. They focus on what they do best, namely, on the development of nonlinear role -playing games, where the plot and characters are put at the forefront.

Soon, very soon, prostects https://casinosnogamstop.co.uk/curacao-casinos/ will take away the title of kings of Rolepley from biovar. And there, you look, and to Olympus Gamdev is not far, they will squeeze a snowstorm with the ventures there =)
CDP is a company that realized that the best way to fight piracy is to create such a good reputation so that people would like to buy their games. That’s why this is my favorite company.
> Take the title of kings of rolepley from biovar
Apparently, this time will come simultaneously with the release of the Witcher 3 🙂
I, in fact, is a thief that pirates 70% of all that I play (I buy only the most interesting games, no kalofduuti, and other crises). But to pirate the games CD Project – for me a taboo, I took and I will only take Lighties!
BioWare really deserved the right to call themselves RPG masters, of course I did not play all their games, but I have never been disappointed in them, Eh has only to remember their Jade Empire, Mass Effect, Dragon Age. I already let the tear. But it’s time to admit that they are weaklings! Because there is CD Project.
And it does not seem strange to you that a game with a lack of protection against pirates is sold with the same success as games with protection? Pirates were, eat and will eat. But if the developers and publishers will treat the customers of the game as players, and not as consumers (like the same COD outfits – a guise haws, nothing new and add. But no, dogs appeared there. ), then those same players will really respect them.
Bratan … You can see about the “Neverwinter” … But I can’t say anything bad about you … It’s just that these were real worlds and games … Let me be shut up, but “Baldur” and “Neva” with their other “Sheppard” projects are not a couple … Only 1 part of the “effect” was made properly in their style and 1 part of the “era” … All the rest is not “biovar” ..
Despite the fact that the “Witcher” series did not particularly roll, I believe that these people deserve my voice in their favor, they are a great example of the fact that players and, accordingly, buyers are not just a herd that you need to milk, we can choose a quality product, we will buy it ourselves, and leave the curvature like piracy/bad genre to our shareholders ..
Very beautiful main character (or it’s just one of the main characters of the game?) at Cyberpunk.
They got excellent games and will turn out, with such a love approach to development, very glad for them) … maybe they went to success for a long time, but diligently.
They are just realists and calmly relate to what is. And to piracy – including. They understand that whoever wants is still spraty, and therefore are not spent on expensive protection systems. That it reduces the company’s expenses so good so well.
Of course, the financial benefit is the main goal of the project … But unlike many publishers, they will not bend about pirates, but simply make quality products. I repent, I didn’t play, because I am calm for RPG, but still – CDP policy really causes sympathy. And what is pleasant – from the CDP basic news about projects, plans, new horizons, extensions … And only slightly about finances … These days are usually heard from the companies about dismissal, scandals, disassembly, divorce and about psychos that arrange a mass massacre from the moon from which thread of the next Korean RPG in Bronbikini … in short, all of the shit. By the way, it was because of such news that I stopped watching the TV – the current is even worse, because everything is nearby … xD so CDP – like a sip of fresh air and a sample of stability and quality in our troubled time. And this cannot but rejoice. Let me not be a fan of their games (I just didn’t play them), but still respect, IMHO, they are worthy. )
And the chav is correct? The same Deus Ex Human Revolution was also not very for sale, but the game is at the level. And if you cry each time that some farmers have overtaken in popularity ..
Of course, for something “wrong” is also not a reason to minute, but this subject is already in which the topic of the Witcher is trying to prove something there because of, most likely, the coal in the ass, that the CDPR is doing something wrong or because of any other reason.
Not to mention the “self-thought-sam-but-shaped”:
CD Projekt young people make only excellent games.And free DLS.We wish their studio of further development and prosperity.
One of the reasons to love the Poles is their honesty. They said that we will do it and this. And as promised, they did it. Not like some ..
The first witcher bought, because of love for Sapkovsky. Already the second collection publication-because of the love of the studio, well, for Sapkovsky too.
How the news came out that the witcher 3 will be on PS4, I realized: "For his sake I buy a console. "(PC I will not pull a veteran, unfortunately). And how I am waiting for Cyberpunk 2077 … There should be the majority of such studios in the entertainment market.
If DA3 will be as worthless as DA2 It will not shoot this title quickly at CDP (or arbors, Openworld RPG, they still have the best (for lack of sensible competitors ^^)).
